00:00I like everything that I heard from Ben Johnson yesterday. It was an easy day for a Bears fan to feel even better about the head coach who's here to essentially fix everything.
00:12From the offense, to the public relations, to the quarterback, to everything about the Bears that have frustrated people for too long.
00:22And I do appreciate his fiery approach to practice.
00:27This is Ben Johnson's personality coming out on the field.
00:31Maybe he's not sure how he would react as a head coach holding the walkie-talkie and squeezing it like a stress ball, as Ruthie described.
00:38And maybe he doesn't know yet how critical he will be of players who are veterans like Cole Komet.
00:44But that's okay. He's authentic. He's himself.
00:47And that's who he was addressing the Caleb Williams issue from the get-go, before being asked a question.
00:54Why did he do it that way? I don't know if it was even a conscious effort.
00:57It was just, this is the way he deals with crises. Head on. Head on.
01:03There's not going to be a lot of ambiguity with Ben Johnson.
01:05I don't think you're ever going to wonder where you stand with him.
01:09Whether it's a reporter in the press corps or a player in his huddle.
01:12You're going to know what Ben Johnson thinks about what's going on.
01:16That's refreshing.
01:18So, I liked everything that we saw.
01:20Yeah, it's only the second day of install.
01:22Yes, it's May and he hasn't coached a game yet as a head coach.
01:26But the early indications are this guy is going to be worth the money.
01:31Okay.
01:37Okay.
